Why did Barak Obama wait until this moment when is so close to the elections to disavow Rev. Wright?
Reader comment on item: "America's Chickens are Coming Home to Roost"
Submitted by Bobbie Ghitis (United States), Mar 15, 2008 at 23:08
Why didn't Barak Obama disavow Rev. Wright remarks immediately after 9/11 or a few months after, or even a few years after 9/11? Didn't it bother him all these years what he said ?
Why did he wait until this moment when is so close to the elections?
Why didn't Obama disavow before (this last month) other racist and anti-Semitic remarks Rev Wright and Farrakah have made?
That's very worrisome!!!
